Smash burger at home

The smash is the easiest burger to nail at home: thin meat, pressed against a very hot griddle, that crusts in two minutes. The secret is the bun: low and wide, so it holds up to the fat and the pressure.

Smash burger at home, built on a Briox Baker brioche bun

Serves 2

Ingredients.

  • 2 SMASH ROLL buns
  • 240 g ground beef, 20 % fat
  • 4 slices of cheddar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Your favorite sauce

15 minutes

Step by step.

  1. Make four 60 g balls without working them too much: two per burger. Keep them in the fridge until the last moment: cold meat makes a better crust.
  2. Heat a cast-iron pan or a griddle on high, with no oil, until it smokes.
  3. Toast the bun 20-40 seconds, cut side down, and set it aside.
  4. Put two balls on the griddle and smash them right away with a wide spatula, down to a finger's thickness. Salt and pepper on top.
  5. After two minutes, when the edges are browned, scrape them off with the spatula so you keep the crust, and flip them.
  6. Lay a slice of cheese on each patty, 30 seconds more, stack the two and build: bun, sauce, both patties with their cheese, more sauce and the top bun.
